Check out Just a Girl. Tragic Kingdom was one of the most iconic album of the 90s! This song is about her ex who was also one of the band members - the bass player, Tony.
@@kenshinhimura9387 Oh well, I mean to each his own, but Gwen is STILL fucking hot at 50 years old. She's gorgeous and a really sweet person. She's like Jennifer Aniston. Doesn't seem to age.
yep. I was living in Fullerton, CA (where she is from) and they did a live and FREE performance at the high school!! I was fresh out of the Marine Corps.
@@danusmc3 Anaheim! But Fullerton is close enough haha. I am from Anaheim also, They went to rival h.s., .i graduated in 92 just few yrs after them. I also lived in fullerton for about 10yrs and currently still live on the border of Fullerton. My Friends band LIT toured with them also. In high School No Doubt had already made name for themselves locally. I have commented on this in another reaction to this song but i totally member their flyers n stickers aRound campus n stuff so kind knew off them and but had never seen them play. Growing up around here many connections to them amongst friends. I myself never knew them.
A lot of people don't know how much versatility Gwen Stefani possess, _especially_ in No Doubt, they mixed Ska, Reggae, Rock, Pop, etc. She was the new wave queen who screamed 'Girl Power' and stood out in a male dominated industry... but people who only know her solo stuff or from 'The Voice' don't give her enough credit when she's actually the inspiration and influence to lots of front-women in bands even till this day. Check out "Just A Girl" please, it was such an anthem (and still is... lol)
Yes, you interpreted the song correctly. Gwen and her brother wrote this song about her relationship with the base player ending. He was her first love. Gwen was doing the tell-all song lyrics before Taylor Swift was in kindergarten. lol
She didn't just get her start with a band. She is still in No Doubt and they are still active. Wiki says she and her brother wrote it but she changed it to be about her breakup with bass player Tony Kanal.
@@tommyward7471 the band they started with another singer is a side project of them just like Gwen's solo career is a side project of her. It doesn't mean they are no longer a band
It is a song to her ex, the guitarist in her band. The one she is singing to in the end. They dated since high school but continued on with their music even after breaking up.
le th Just a girl hit top 10 in Australia, UK and NZ. It got them noticed. Don’t Speak went no 1 in Australia, Canada, Netherlands, UK, NZ, Switzerland and Sweden. To date it is their only song that went No 1 anywhere in the world.
@@jspettifer I'm talking about where this band is from....the US. Having traveled over a huge chunk of your beautiful, clean and friendly country, I can say that although the continent of AU is about the same size of the 48 contiguous US states, the entire population of Australia is equivalent to the population of the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, where No Doubt originated (Anaheim). That is one metropolitan area of the US and it's not even the largest in population. I recognize that bands often chart differently in different countries, especially outside of their own. We see this in the US all the time, and there are some bands from the US who don't do well in the US, but do extremely well in other countries. The same is true for some celebrities who are just moderately popular in the US, but wildly popular elsewhere. Back then, the 90's, songs and albums were generally released in their country of origin first, and then...at a later date...released abroad, usually in the UK, then later Europe (this is before there was an EU and before music was available to download online). "I'm Just a Girl" was wildly popular in the US with hourly airplay on our radio stations and on Mtv. On population alone, the record sales in the US dwarfed most countries (back then). Today, China and India also have access to purchasing music online that they didn't have back in the 90s, and those sales can dwarf any sales that might occur in the US...but we are talking about the early-mid 90s now, before the dot com era and proliferation of the internet. I'm sure various countries around the globe show varying chart levels for No Doubt's singles and albums, as well. Certainly, there are a number of countries where No Doubt's music doesn't even show on the charts. I can't imagine that any Muslim country would allow a song like I'm Just A Girl to receive airplay, even today (maybe I'm wrong as this is a purely uneducated guess on my part).
The group No Doubt is where she got her start in the public eye. Their first hit was "Just a Girl". They were great. Her ex was a member of the band, No Doubt. They had been together for several years & this song is what she was feeling at the time. It became their biggest hit.
Gwen and her brother formed the group when she was 17 yrs old! This put Gwen on the map. Most of the music sooo...many hits written mostly by her. This is about her break up with bass player boyfriend Tony in the band. They were together for a long time and she thought they would get married. He broke up with her and Gwen went on her own for a while and then she met her husband Gavin who had his own band
No Doubt formed in 1986, having had another original lead singer, but when he died of suicide in 1987, Gwen took over that part, previously having ‘only’ been a vocalist, along with the other former members (one of which was her brother, Eric), before the ‘new’ band came together in 1992, where it was her and the other three new band members. The band went on a prolonged hiatus, but despite that, and despite still not being reunited today as a band, they have performed a few times in the past.
Saw No Doubt live at Fargodome with Bush and the Goo Goo Dolls back in 1996...fantastic concert, amazing that No Doubt was the last band on the ticket at that time but they totally rocked the place.
She joined her brothets garage band , California kids...she sang this song with broken heart to one of the band member's that they broke up aftrr 8 years. They made so many great hits..then she went solo.
Gwen Stefani was my idol when I was a teenager. I had No Doubt posters all over my room, bleach blonde hair, red lipstick, and plaid pants. She was my first real female role model. Tragic Kingdom is such a fun album. "I throw my toys around" is another good one to check out. It was before they got famous.
Yep, that's Gwen Stefani; she started in the band No Doubt. They were a really good band! They were considered "ska punk." Gwen was in a relationship with bassist Tony Kanal (the Indian guy) for quite awhile before she married musician Gavin Rossdale and they had kids, btw. Now I guess she's with that country singer Blake Shelton. I think you are spot on in the meaning of the lyrics.
This song made No Doubt world famous in 1996. Gwen Stefani started her solo career in 2004 when the band went on a permanent hiatus in 2003. They released a singles collection which included their last big hit It's My Life.
You are hearing it the way that I hear it. At first I didn't get into this song because of the intro. But after I got through that and heard her belting out those lyrics. I felt it deep. Been there.
Gwen had been dating Tony the bass player and she REALLY liked him A LOT! For whatever reason he wanted space and wanted to chill their relationship. That is what the song is about. Tony breaking up with Gwen. Of course, this all happened just before they exploded on the music scene.
My dad always listens to a lot of old stuff, 60’s to 80’s music, I grew up with this song..! 😻 But still sad to hear songs like these, I don’t have such a good relationship with him (he’s a big alcoholic) But I loved your reaction! 😻♥️
At that point, she was leaving her band behind because she had outgrown them. They appear resentful and angry. She was the star and they were left in the background. It showed in the photograph section of the video where they kept pushing the band out of the picture until it was only her.
This is song is about her and her bf, the bassist in the group, and their breaking up. The video is showing the side of fame that tears groups apart and causes relationships to end. Thankfully they reunited and are still making music.
This song saved the band. And it about her and one of the members of the band breaking up. This is the gwen I like. Rocker girl . Her band was really good. REALLY GOOD
After listening to all these women singers I'm not bothering with a best female/ male singer list as there's WAY TOO MANY awesome singers out there. I forgot about this song, brilliant tune and Gwen's voice is perfect. 😄
I always loved the different musical styles. I cannot believe how similar the opening and other parts of dont speak, are to Aerosmith's song Dream On. Holy crap. Just seeing this similarity 30 years later
she got her start in no doubt. she was an original member. no doubt was huge. and still is to a certain extent. she wrote this about her boyfriend who was also in the band.
Gwen Stefani is one badass performer and her band is awesome. She has the voice and presence and she doesn't use her body as a selling point for their music or videos. She's collaborated with some others as well. She did a song with Eve. No Doubt has great music out there.
This song is about Gwen and Tony Kanal's break-up, the band's bassist. I think there is a "Behind the Music" for No Doubt - they have a really interesting history.
@@generalsaufenberg4931 It's funny how people talk about personal trainers like keeping yourself in shape is a bad thing. Some people just have the genes. My wife is fifty and people think she's in her late 30s, and she's never had anything done to her at all.
Her band "No Doubt" has been around for a very long time.... If you watch this song and video again you will see it's about her growing bigger/more famous than the band she is in... Notice how the band starts being in the back ground and the photographers are doing pictures of her by herself in the video...... Awesome/sad video.... React to their song "It's my life". It's another great one from NO DOUBT....
Per Wiki : Originally a love song, Gwen rewrote the lyrics almost completely after her break up with the band's bassist Tony Kanal. According to Gwen, "It used to be more upbeat, more of a Seventies rock-type thing. [When] Tony and I broke up... it turned into a sad song." [4] A live version that exists from April 1994 shows off a bouncy tune that has the same skeleton as the released version, but not the same urgency. The band performed part of the original song on VH1 Storytellers on August 10, 2000.
No Doubt was really big in the 90s and early 2000s. One of my faves. Gwen is an icon to those of us who were 80s babies, we grew up with her. Listen to Just a Girl, Spiderwebs, Sunday Morning, Ex Girlfriend, Bathwater all singles to draw you in.
No Doubt have been one of my favorite bands ever, since the late 90s when they debuted... Gwen writes all her own lyrics, except for when she does collabs in studios. When she first 'broke up' with No Doubt, she put out an album called Love Angel Music Baby and it was phenomenal. From that album, "What You Waiting For" is one of the BEST songs I have EVER had the pleasure of jamming to :D :D The video itself is a real masterpiece, too!!
This is from No Doubt's third album Tragic Kingdom which made them international superstars back in 1995, totally part of my teenage years lol, this song is about Gwen's breakup with the bassist Tony, you could react to every song in this album but "Just a Girl" and "Sunday Morning" stand out for me, but the whole album is a classic.
I may be wrong but if I recall correctly the band was originally a Ska band and her brother was in it so she hung around a lot until they asked her to sing, then she just became a member of the band. Then of course went on to do solo stuff.
The message had a duel meaning .Message to a member of the group she had a falling out with relationship wise. The hidden meaning of knowing that the group is talking about her as well as mocking her behind her back and sometimes in front of her face. The group feeling the push from outside forces wanting Stephanie in the front just before they broke up.
To me, the song is about a woman knowing that her relationship is falling apart but because she's in denial, she doesn't want to hear her soon-to-be ex's reasons for breaking up with her. "It looks as though you're letting go, and if it's real then I don't want to know. Don't speak; I know just what you're saying, so please stop explaining, don't tell me cause it hurts. Don't speak; I know what you're thinking, and I don't need your reasons, don't tell me cause it hurts. It's all ending, gotta stop pretending who we are. You and me, I can see us dying. Are we?"
New, Ex-Girlfriend (live) and Cool are great songs too. You made me feel quite old. I remember when all this happened. Tragic Kingdom is about her breakup with Tony Kanal, the bassist, the guy who picks the rotten fruit.
I love seeing her in the yellow crop doing push ups. They backed up Bush and it was the first time they sold out a stadium it started out in a auto show building in Oklahoma City and sold out and moved to the stadium. Those out takes were in OKC.
As others said, the song is about her and the bassist Tony Kanal breaking up. The best songs seem to come from tensions like that between band members. A lot of the early songs were about them. Fleetwood Mac did the same thing. Writing their best work about breakups and tensions between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, and Christine and John McVie.
Also, she, and they are best live. Check out the live versions. Tony is one of my bass heroes, solid, creative, and monster tone. Listen to the song Tragic Kingdom live. It will blow you away. They're all over the stage.
This song always kind of reminds me of "Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday. I can't explain why it does....it just does. May be one from the 80's to check out at some point
Hey JB Lethal. I've been enjoying your reactions, particularly to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Meatloaf's I will do anything for love and I've noticed that you are enjoying the music of the 80s. If you haven't already heard it yet, I will enjoy seeing you react to Paul Simon's 'You can call me Al'. It was pretty iconic during the 80s and the music video is enjoyable to watch.
Check out Just a Girl. Tragic Kingdom was one of the most iconic album of the 90s!
This song is about her ex who was also one of the band members - the bass player, Tony.
Yes, I agree! Please review "I'm just a Girl" ❤
YES!! That's a CLASSIC! First time I saw Gwen Stefani and I thought she was going to be a HUGE star!
The song that put them on the map and made every male alive fall in love with Gwen.
And she still looks just as stunning!
YEP!!!
nope... I always thought she was kinda ugly. Especially with that pasty white skin and that dot in the middle of her forehead.
@@kenshinhimura9387 Oh well, I mean to each his own, but Gwen is STILL fucking hot at 50 years old. She's gorgeous and a really sweet person. She's like Jennifer Aniston. Doesn't seem to age.
@@kenshinhimura9387 You are for sure in the minority then sir. Proof to the saying "to each their own"
Pretty much the whole Tragic Kingdom album is about her breakup with the bands bassist
yep. I was living in Fullerton, CA (where she is from) and they did a live and FREE performance at the high school!! I was fresh out of the Marine Corps.

Man, if I had a dime for every time they played this song on the radio back in the day I would be a very wealthy man...
"Spiderwebs," "Hey, Baby," "Just a Girl," "Underneath It All," "Hella Good," and "It's My Life" are all good songs by No Doubt.
It's My Life is a remake. Originally by Talk Talk.
@@saraheart2804 ... I remember Talk Talk well. I was very much into 1980s synth-pop back in the day. :-)

"Bathwater" is also a fun track, and "Trapped In A Box" is a great old school track, before they hit big with "Tragic Kingdom".

...guess you had to be there.

Which one (in the video) is her brother?
@@marymargaretmoore9034 Her brother is not in the video. Just her ex Tony. He is the one who she and her brother co-wrote the song about.
Gwen and No doubt, great band and this is an iconic song
Check out Gwen's song "Cool" which seems to talk about her and Kanal's continued friendship after the breakup.
Yes!! “Cool” is like the sequel to this song.
Check it out!!!!!!
She didn't just get her start with a band. She is still in No Doubt and they are still active. Wiki says she and her brother wrote it but she changed it to be about her breakup with bass player Tony Kanal.
She is no longer part of no doubt! She went Solo

It is a song to her ex, the guitarist in her band. The one she is singing to in the end. They dated since high school but continued on with their music even after breaking up.
Tony, her ex, played bass not guitar
Robin C ah ok. I always consider them both guitars lol.
@@Windalove1 you are correct. It's a bass GUITAR.

Love this song! Another great one is Eve ft. Gwen Stefani "Let me blow ya mind".
Omgoodness jblethe!! Please please react to "blow your mind "l
Yes 😍😍
Then Gwen did Rich Girl with Eve off of her solo album
OMG!!! Soooo many memories!!!
You really need to check out the song ‘Voices Carry’ by Til Tuesday.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'll second that!
Live at The Ritz 1986 is a great version
Karen Lackner right!!!
I so love this song! ❤❤❤❤
I just now added a comment for that one before I scrolled down. Glad I am not the only one with that train of thought hearing this song
Love this song .... your reaction is spot on ..... and the drummer is wearing a Madness T-Shirt - perfection :)
My guilty pleasure is the Tragic Kingdom album, and it brings back memories. Thanks for the reaction

This is the correct answer.
'Sunday Morning'
For some reason my favorite No Doubt song. Must be the brociferace energy. Whatever it is, it strikes me.
Gwen Stefani was my idol when I was a teenager. I had No Doubt posters all over my room, bleach blonde hair, red lipstick, and plaid pants. She was my first real female role model.

Yes that’s her. Your feeling about the song is exactly right. She is telling her X I don’t want to hear your excuses.
She is Stunningly beautiful
Loved this song n video n especially when in the dress
Their first hit should come first. HELLA GOOD! (No doubt Hella good)

This woman does not age, it's crazy. This song was released in 1995. Almost 25 years. She's clearly sold her soul to the devil😆😜
For real tho!! She looks the same!!
the miracle of modern beauty surgeons and personal trainers^^

Before she went solo. She was with No Doubt. Tragic Kingdom made them a household name
You are speaking right about it
Love Gwen Stefani
The message had a duel meaning .Message to a member of the group she had a falling out with relationship wise. The hidden meaning of knowing that the group is talking about her as well as mocking her behind her back and sometimes in front of her face. The group feeling the push from outside forces wanting Stephanie in the front just before they broke up.
She went from sleeping in her car to stardom with this song. At least that’s what she said when accepting her award.
Listen to HELLAGOOD by No Doubt please.
She shows her writing chops with No Doubt, too. She has written some really great songs.
I love her voice. Her and Blake are too much for me. She’s beautiful.
To me, the song is about a woman knowing that her relationship is falling apart but because she's in denial, she doesn't want to hear her soon-to-be ex's reasons for breaking up with her. "It looks as though you're letting go, and if it's real then I don't want to know. Don't speak; I know just what you're saying, so please stop explaining, don't tell me cause it hurts. Don't speak; I know what you're thinking, and I don't need your reasons, don't tell me cause it hurts. It's all ending, gotta stop pretending who we are. You and me, I can see us dying. Are we?"
New, Ex-Girlfriend (live) and Cool are great songs too. You made me feel quite old. I remember when all this happened. Tragic Kingdom is about her breakup with Tony Kanal, the bassist, the guy who picks the rotten fruit.
It's about their band. And her brother was in the band when they first started.
She had lots of energy.
That was back when she was a true rockstar. Her boyfriend for all those years was Gavin Rossdale from the band Bush. Check out "Glycerine"
I love seeing her in the yellow crop doing push ups. They backed up Bush and it was the first time they sold out a stadium it started out in a auto show building in Oklahoma City and sold out and moved to the stadium. Those out takes were in OKC.
She's my all time favourite female frontie. LOVE her.
That's exactly right. This is a breakup/post breakup song.
As others said, the song is about her and the bassist Tony Kanal breaking up. The best songs seem to come from tensions like that between band members. A lot of the early songs were about them. Fleetwood Mac did the same thing. Writing their best work about breakups and tensions between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, and Christine and John McVie.
Also, she, and they are best live. Check out the live versions. Tony is one of my bass heroes, solid, creative, and monster tone. Listen to the song Tragic Kingdom live. It will blow you away. They're all over the stage.
Gwen is so beautiful 😍
The whole Tragic Kingdom album is incredible!!!!
Her ex is the Bass player, Tony Kanal. They had recently broken up.
This song always kind of reminds me of "Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday. I can't explain why it does....it just does. May be one from the 80's to check out at some point
Good video bro keep it up
you're the best
Hey JB Lethal. I've been enjoying your reactions, particularly to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Meatloaf's I will do anything for love and I've noticed that you are enjoying the music of the 80s. If you haven't already heard it yet, I will enjoy seeing you react to Paul Simon's 'You can call me Al'. It was pretty iconic during the 80s and the music video is enjoyable to watch.
Running is a great one by them also
